The iconic 57 Goldtop has been the tool of choice for countless guitar heroes. Its elegant gold finish, classic solid mahogany/maple construction and versatile humbucking pickups make one wonder what else can I possibly need in a guitar? This is probably why it gained the reputation as the working mans Les Paul less flashy than its figured-top sunburst counterparts from 1958-1960, but almost identical under the hood. This 2018 Historic Series recreation exemplifies Gibson Custom Shops tireless quest for exacting accuracy to the original year of production, from the woods to the construction to the parts and precise contours throughout. Two new updates for 2018 include the inclusion of all True Historic-spec parts and, for the first time, narrow/tall frets which bring the tone and playability closer to the character of the originals.

I had a 1981 and a 1989 Custom Les Paul and I missed it . When I saw one on ebay I HAD to own it . It's the best sounding and best feeling guitar I have ever owned . I also own a Gibson SG that I bought on ebay and I love that one too , but there is no mistaking the sound or the feel of my beloved Les Paul Custom !!!!

I had some concerns about how the guitar was going to look because the finish can look different on an online photo than in person, and it did. In person this guitar looks amazing!! The Murphy Lab killed it on this finish! I have purchased about 7 high end guitars over the years and this one I fell in love with immediately! As soon as I opened the case it was like WHOA!!!! The feel of the neck/action out of the box was awesome and the powerful pick ups sounded amazing through my '68 Fender Vibro-lux Reverb re-issue! I took advantage of the 48 months no interest loan option. This is my 2nd time buying a high end guitar from Derek White at Private Reserve and it's always been a great experience.
